Do you believe every runner has his or her own limits when it comes to performance, or is each and every human body limitless. I personally do not believe in limits, except for the limits we place on ourselves. As long as you strive to grow as an athlete and truly believe that their is always room for progression, you will never stop progressing. This is why we continuously see records vanish as time moves on. There is no such thing as a record that can not be brocken when it comes to any sport, especially running. If you went back in time and told people that in 2012 the world record for 100m was 9.58 they wold have laughed. If you said that a man can run 5,000 and 10,000 meters in 12:37 and 26:17 or a marathon in 2 hours 3 minutes and 59seconds you would have been insane. Although these are our current world records, and I believe that they will continue to get faster because the human body has no limits.
We will see records like 12:00 for 5,000 meters, well under 2 hours for a marathon, and even around 25:00 for 10,000 meters. Of coarse it sounds insane, but so did the records we see today according to people from lets say half a century ago. We may believe that many of the records held today are untouchable, but theres always that next person in time that believes they can be the ones to bust the record. As time moves on, records move faster. And the only time we will truly ever see an "unbreakable" record in any event is the day the clock says 0:00 at the end of the race.
